What's the most expensive/poshest/strangest thing you've eaten?

I really want to try truffles...that's why my next boyfriend needs to be a millionaire, they are about £50 for one tiny bit.
I ate monkfish and lobster in Vegas at the buffet at the Ballagio, they were nice and are probably the most expensive thing I've eaten.
Not really into wierd foods, I'm too fussy but my Dad worked in Egypt and had to eat a sheep's eye so he didn't offend the people offering it to him.

Didn't really appreciate its decadence back then and just scarfed it down; shame since I doubt I'll ever be able to afford anything similar again now my brother doesn't have his filthy rich in-laws to feed us all
forgot about the foie gras, love it!! mmm
its not any more/less cruel than dairy farming, and noone seems to have a problem with that.
and veal is mmm mm delicious, its more of a delicasy here than on the continent where its on most menu's.
Oooh Lobster - we had Lobsterfest in my second year at uni - but it was more a chance for comedy poses than anything else See below (not me!)
At first i thought she had crabs ! Ba doom kish
Essentially force feeding geese that have no gag reflex via a tube in order to achieve a grotesquely enlarged "fatty" liver is just beyond my comprehension, I think anyone who had seen footage of its production would have to agree. Obviously we all have different tastes and different levels of sensitivity when it comes to animals, but it certainly doesn't get me licking my lips.
i could quite happily kill and eat a animal if i had to, which im sure a lot of people couldnt do.
i think that if you are happy to eat something you should be happy to do the process that goes before it yourself.
IMHO, the ultra-fancy five star restaurants aren't better than picturesque and humble ones, and I often find that the food in the latter is so much better, choose it over the former anyday.
And regarding the veal, I never knew that. Fortunately I don't really have veal, but I shouldn't say this because I'd be having double standards then. I have had countless amount of meat courses in the past. I guess the ethical part of meat hasn't really affected me. *shrugs*
ETA: and yes, I'd slaughter the animal before eating it if I had to.
that sounds bloody well nice, i'd order that if i saw it. mmm
A snip at only £22.00!!!!!!
Tasted like my first girlfriend :yuck:
I can't think what the poshest thing i have ever eaten is - I have eaten in quite a few posh restaurants in my time though so I can't really think which is THE poshest i went to this one in london in the summer where there was one person who's entire job was to just open the door to the Toilets for you and a glass of wine was £14. However the food was amasingly good (all far easten) and we got it for free which kind of made up for the expensivness of the wine. But in general the staff in posh places are so up thier own asses they look down on you the whole time for being not as posh as them I tend to find.
My gran used to cook it for me as a kid and I always hated it. Recently tried it again though and foudn it not as bad. I still wouldn't pay for though.
I thought it was only dogs that ate that?!
The strangest thing I've eaten is a piece of dead raw jellyfish when I was at the beach with my friends a few years ago. It was a dare of sorts.
I'm not sure what the poshest thing is. I had monkfish washed down with copious amounts of kir royale and cosmopolitan at a restaurant in Newcastle earlier on this year, but that was the cheapest thing I've had because Accenture paid for it:D
I've had all the usual expensive foods, lobster, foie gras, veal, boar etc. Veal has a bad reputation here, but actually there are loads of calfs which are destroyed because they are not needed which go to waste.
I think the oddest food I've had was biltong which is nasty, or smoked eal which is amazing.
